Self discipline, inner peace and compartmentalize work and home. Still looking for a way to get them all I guess it's a long road ahead of me.

I'd vote for (tech) writing. It can be helpful in almost any area. Some basic writing is taught in schools. In order to learn it deeper, one may try rewriting some website content to make it original but not losing any quality or important information.

Empathy, self-awareness, and self control.

I am learning Python. It is widely used general purpose programming language. As cited on the most websites, it is great for data analysis, visualization, scientific research, web development, automation.

I have no prior experience of any coding language, but I am grasping it very easily.

It is very easy for non-programmers.

The most important skills are the ones in demand in your area, or area that interests you - have a look at the job listings, see what they want and learn that stuff

I’ve recently interviewed for 10+ tech companies. I haven’t seen any real extraordinary commonality except security. (DevOps/SRE)
